“Thank you,” she’d say.

“All of this money is going to the oicer’s family. The ribbons are from me.”

The memorial ribbons are for Sean Bolton, the 33-year-old Memphis police officer and former Marine who was shot several times and killed Aug. 1 during a traic stop.

Activist Ruby Bridges-Hall, ilm director Ava DuVernay and Freedom Rider Joan Trumpauer Mulholland were named 2015 Freedom Award honorees on Thursday for their civil rights and human rights work advancing freedom and equality.

“These women deied the odds in breaking color and gender barriers,” said Terri Lee Freeman, president of the National Civil Rights Museum. Bridges-Hall, whose award was sponsored by International Paper, in 1960 integrated an elementary school in New Orleans.

DuVernay, whose award was sponsored by FedEx Corp., wrote and directed “Selma.” DuVernay was the irst African-American female director to have a ilm nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Mulholland, whose award was sponsored by the The Hyde Family Foundation, participated in a dozen protests and sit-ins by age 19, Freeman said. In 1961, she was arrested and jailed in Mississippi in a cell on death row. She later attended Tougaloo College in Jackson.

The Freedom Award ceremony is Oct. 22. A free public forum will be held at 10 a.m. at Temple of Deliverance, 369 G.E. Patterson Ave., followed by a ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at The Cannon Center for Performing Arts and an 8 p.m. gala dinner at the Cook Convention Center.

background check process for guns lacking Audit indicates reporting shortfalls

By Richard Locker locker@commercialappeal.com 615-255-4923

NASHVILLE — A performance audit of the state court system released Wednesday raises the possibility that people with mental health issues “may be able to obtain a irearm” from gun dealers and a handgun-carry permit

from the state due to the possibility of inadequate reporting by court clerks to the FBI database used for background checks.

The performance audit conducted by the state comptroller’s oice says the Administrative Oice of the Courts, an arm of the Tennessee Supreme Court, and court clerks across the state “should implement improvements to fully comply with state statutes designed to keep irearms out of the hands of individuals with mental health issues.”

not deinitely say that individuals with mental illness have obtained guns nor carry permits as a result of the reporting shortcomings it identiied.

It used interviews with oicials and personnel and paperwork reviews to conclude that “Tennessee court system management had not fully complied with state laws regarding mental health and irearms reporting by enduring that the Administrative Oice of the Courts (AOC) adequately tracked mental

health report submissions, court clerks timely reported submissions and various courts used compliant automated reporting systems.”

Tennessee law requires that court clerks submit reports to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database within three business days, whenever a court of law commits an individual to a mental institution or adjudicates him or her as a “mental defective.”

In brief

bass pro shops

from 1 married with a child of her own. She still worries about her dad.

Frank Hannah has been a member of the Memphis Police Department since 1995. Now he works for the Security Squad, which investigates all police-involved shootings.

Three weeks ago, Hannah was called to Hickory Hill, where police oicer Connor Schilling shot and killed 19-year-old Darrius Stewart during a scule at a traic stop.

Last Saturday evening, Hannah was called to the scene where Oicer Bolton was killed in Parkway Village. Police were alerted to the shooting by neighbors who used Bolton’s radio to call for an ambulance.

“Think about it,” said former Memphis Police Director James Bolden. “In the space of two weeks, the community has gone from maligning the police department to showering it with love and appreciation.

“When Oicer Bolton was shot, regular citizens had an opportunity to come to the aid of the police and they did. That was a proud moment for this community.”

Proud and tragic.

Shannon has been feeling both emotions since Saturday evening, when she was leaving work and her mom texted her about her father’s latest assignment. She glanced at a TV and saw Oicer Bolton’s name and picture.

“It dawned on me that I knew who he was,” said Shannon, who lives in the Sea Isle neighborhood.

She remembered the police oicer driving down her street a few months ago, waving at her child.

She remembered serving him and his partner at the East Memphis restaurant where she works.

She remembered what it was like when her father was involved in a police shooting in December 2007.

Hannah and several other police oicers were pursuing an armed suspect in North Memphis. The suspect, 18-year-old Timothy Jones, ired several shots at the oicers.

According to police, Hannah “ired his weapon when he saw Jones at the window of a squad car pointing his gun at the oicer inside ... Hannah yelled for Jones to drop the gun, and when he pointed it at Hannah, the oicer ired.”

Jones was killed. The shooting was ruled a justiiable homicide, that Hannah acted in self-defense and in defense of other oicers. He later received the Medal of Valor.

“These oicers put their lives on the line every day to protect us,” Shannon said as she cut more ribbons. “But the only time we seem to notice or appreciate them is when they get hurt or killed. “ Shannon started making memorial ribbons Sunday afternoon.

By Aug. 5 she had made and given away nearly 200 of them.

She made larger ones for each police precinct. She also made a special one for Oicer Bolton’s family. She took it to Bolton’s brother Aug. 5.

“It’s a small thing, just a way to acknowledge the sacrifice Officer Bolton and his family made for us,” Shannon said.

“But it’s something I could do. I wish I could do more.”

The report’s release came on the day of Tennessee’s latest incident making national news: a lone man armed with an air pistol, a hatchet and pepper spray entered a suburban Nashville cinema, pepper-sprayed three patrons and struck one with a hatchet before he was killed by police when he aimed the realistic-looking gun at them.

Police said Wednesday night the 29-year-old man had a history of mental illness.

Police identified the woman as Karri Baker, who died Aug. 2 from wounds she received in the July 31 incident at 7691 Elm Leaf Drive.

Matthew Bashaw, 36, who was involved in the incident, was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was found in the driveway and a semi-automatic pistol was found under his leg.

Baker was found in the garage.

Both victims sufered head wounds.

Baker’s body was turned over to the Shelby County Medical Examiner’s oice.

One million visitors

By Ted Evanof evanof@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2292

ass Pro at The Pyramid in its irst two months lived up to its billing as a key attraction drawing visitors to the Memphis riverfront.

B

Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris said the turnstile count at the Bass Pro doorway reached 1 million visitors on July 8, the latest date he has available, and has steadily increased.

Morris, in an interview Aug. 3, said Bass Pro in the months ahead may consider adding a zip line and opening a second hotel, and it will look at whether his company might take part in eforts by the city to redevelop nearby sites Downtown.

“The store continues to be really strong,” Morris said, noting sales per customer trail the average Bass Pro, in part because small items such as fudge sell so well, while the volume of visitors exceeds the typical Bass Pro. The general store alone has peddled 12 tons of fudge.

Bass Pro opened the 708-employee Downtown location in late April after converting the stainless steel-clad Pyramid into a 500,000-square-foot sporting goods emporium styled inside like an old ishing camp. Retail displays stand among a replica of a cypress swamp bounded by a 103-room hotel, restaurants, bowling alley, aquariums, gun and archery ranges, Ducks Unlimited museum, and 30th-loor observation deck looking out over the Mississippi River and Memphis.

The store’s theme-park style and marketing by Bass Pro, a private company with an estimated $4.2 billion in annual sales, has fueled estimates of 1 million to 2

already fulills promise as key draw for tourism million visitors each year coming to The Pyramid. Those numbers would surpass Graceland attendance and rank Bass Pro as the city’s No. 2 tourist draw after Beale Street’s estimated 5 million.

Large expectations for Bass Pro in turn have led civic leaders to begin examining how to redevelop the underused real estate nearby — the Pinch District and Mud Island River Park — to draw visitors coming from The Pyramid. Bass Pro executives are being invited to take part in preliminary discussions. City oicials consider Bass Pro an economic driver in the central business district, said Robert Lipscomb, Memphis director of Housing and Community Development.

While the retailer would not be a likely candidate to operate the river park, Morris said, Bass Pro executives are familiar with leading-edge tourism developments throughout the nation and are willing to discuss ideas with Memphis oicials.

“This is a rare project and I think it’s important just what the city and Robert Lipscomb are doing, reaching out to other developers, reaching out to us,’’ Morris said.

“I’m not suggesting we want to be the developer for a huge project,” Morris said. “But if there was something where we felt we could be instrumental in bringing about some more development, even some things we could run, we’d be interested.”

Two projects Bass Pro might take on are a hotel, Morris said, and an amusement park-like ride called a zip line. Its cable is set up

outdoors on an incline so gravity can pull down riders at the top.

The ride, which was proposed when the new store was in the concept phase, could go near The Pyramid while a hotel might be suited for the Pinch, he said.

“We have an open mind to study” the idea of a hotel, Morris said, noting Bass Pro’s luxury hotel inside The Pyramid, Big Cedar Lodge, was lightly visited when it opened. Now it is being advertised widely.

“One thing we learned is we didn’t pre-promote the hotel with a irm opening date and rates,’’ Morris said. “We didn’t start of with jam-packed occupancy.’’

Downtown merchants said they often see people in their restaurants and stores carrying Bass Pro merchandise. Several say sales revenue is up about 5 percent to 10 percent this summer compared to last, which merchants attribute to the improved economy across the region and Bass Pro. “We had a really nice July last summer but we are deinitely up over last year for June and July.

May was our best month ever in our 9 years of existence,’’ said Deni Reilly, owner of the Majestic, an upscale restaurant on South Main.

What could aid Bass Pro is more outdoor space to display items such as boats and trailers during special regional promotions, said Benny Lendermon, president of the Riverfront Development Corp., the agency that operates Mud Island.

Because The Pyramid parking lot usually ills up, Lendermon said, the retailer doesn’t always have enough outdoor space to accommodate the displays and visitors.

“We think we’ll continue to thrive as a regional destination and experience,’’ Morris said of The Pyramid. ‘‘Only time will tell, but our goal is to keep fueling the ire.’’

In the News FIRST RESPONDERS

Family serves police oicers sit-down dinner

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

O

icer Barry Copley was barely inside the house when 6-year-old Olivia Sulcer slid backward down the banister, landing nearly in his arms.

“That was good, but be careful,” Copley said with the kind of gentle authority little girls tend to hear.

Five minutes later, Copley and J.A. White, armed and in uniform, were in the Sulcer family kitchen, serving themselves oven-fried chicken, baked beans, fruit salad and rolls.

Over the next 90 minutes, patrol cars and dark, unmarked lieutenants’ vehicles pulled up to the curb on Wheatland, a quiet street in east Germantown that likely never sees the number of irst-responders it had that night.

No one was in a hurry to do anything but have dinner around the family table and talk about the weather, their children’s college majors and that this was at least the second time Copley had been to the Sulcer home. (The irst was when the neighbor boy backed into the brick mailbox.)

As police come under fire in cities around the nation for shootings and presumed rushes to judgment, Germantown residents are getting out recipe books and inviting them in for dinner.

“It’s so simple. It makes you wonder how come nobody in the history of ever has thought about this,” said Joanna Young, who with husband Bob held the irst Germantown dinner in January.

“We’re making dinner anyway.

Why not invite the oicers who might be sitting on our street to come over and eat?”

Young’s children, GraceAnn, 10, and Tucker, 9, named it Cop Stop. It has spread across Ger-

“It’s so simple. It makes you wonder how come nobody in the history of ever has thought about this,” said Joanna Young (standing) as Germantown policemen Branden Shewell (left) and Nick Iacobucci, Lee Ann Davis and Rhodes Sulcer have dinner together at the Sulcer home.

“They never get a chance to sit down together and have a meal,” Joanna Young said of police oicers including Germantown’s Barry Copley (right) and Jimmy White.

mantown, and that appears to be just the start.

Young met with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department Monday to kick around ideas about expanding into the county.

That afternoon, she was honored by the Shelby County Commis-

The gatherings give neighbors a chance to interact with oicers such as Jimmy White, who chats with Brecon Hester, 4, at the home of Rhodes and Carrie Sulcer.

sion for an idea Commissioner Heidi Shafer said was “wonderful in a disconnected society.”

Memphian Joe Chittick heard about Cop Stop and scheduled his own, a block party attended by about 45 irst responders in East Memphis.

“This is our irst Cop Stop in our home,” nurse and mom Carrie Sulcer said over the growing chorus of voices in her house.

“No, I am not nervous. If you fall dead in front of me, I know how to revive you. This is nothing.”

She helped a friend host a Cop

Stop a few weeks ago and was running solo, sort of. Her mother was in from Fayette County; a handful of neighbors brought food and another came just to watch the night unfold.

For Young, what happens around the table is a spontaneous, unpredictable fellowship that she expects will pay dividends as more people get acquainted on both sides of the blue line.

“The policemen get to sit down with us and eat. They are also sitting down with iremen. They never get a chance to get sit down together and have a meal. So they are building relationships.

“And we are building relationships with our neighbors, and our neighbors — all of us — are building relationships with the police and ire department.”

Capt. Angie Blankenship says oicers go out of their way to attend.

“It’s very comfortable. Anytime anyone is in uniform, there is usually a little uncertainly with the public. The time together makes us seem a little more human. It makes them see we are as human as they are and that we are all rowing this boat together, so to speak.”

Germantown families sign up through SignUpGenius.com to host or bring sides. The calendar is full through the end of the year.

“It’s very well-organized,” Sulcer said. “I’m in frequent communication with my coordinator.

We know on average how many are on duty in our district on our night. We plan for that many. If they have a call or an accident, we know they are not going to be able to make it.”

But that doesn’t mean they won’t stop in later or make to-go boxes for those who have to miss.

“It all depends on the night and what’s going on,” Young said.

“The oicers assigned to my district will hang out at our house until they get a call. All the oicers know where the meal is that night. They are told at roll call: ‘This is Cop Stop night; it will be at this house.’”

A FINAL SALUTE Fallen oicer remembered for compassion, dedication to job

By Yolanda Jones yojones@desotoappeal.com 901-333-2014

EULOGY

M

emphis police oicer Sean Bolton was remembered Thursday as a man of compassion but “bold as a lion” when it came to the community he swore to protect.

The Marine, who excelled in wrestling and football at White Station High School and equally embraced a love of languages and books, was shot and killed Aug. 1 while on duty.

Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong told mourners inside Bellevue Baptist Church during Bolton’s memorial service that this was the third one of his oicers to die in the line of duty over the last four years, and this grim statistic has “devastated” him.

“We all have our relationship with God, and so I talked to God and asked him, ‘Why me, God?’ What are you trying to tell me?’

“And just as clearly as I am talking to you, God said, ‘Son, this has nothing to do with you.’”

Armstrong said he continued to have a “pity party” for himself until he heeded God’s words and thought about Bolton and the other oicers in his department.

“I was going to write a speech, but I realized that Sean deserved so much more from me than a speech,” Armstrong said. He said God told him to deliver a message instead to the Bolton family and the citizens of Memphis.

Mike Brown/The CoMMerCial appeal

Colton Thornton, 6, salutes with area ireighters as a hearse carrying the slain oicer’s body is delivered to West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery.

“I have the awesome responsibility of your public safety.

There are 2,000 oicers under my command that I demand the best of from each of them every day,” Armstrong said.

“Let me make it clear to each and every citizen: We are not your enemy. When most people run away, we run to.”

Armstrong’s words garnered a standing ovation from the oficers who illed the lower half of the Cordova church that seats 6,500. Memphis Mayor A C Wharton was the irst speaker during the 11 a.m. service. Wharton said, “Oicer’s Bolton’s death was an ofense to God, his family and each of us.” As the mayor spoke, some oicers walked out.

On Aug. 1, while checking an illegally parked 2002 Mercedes-Benz on a residen-

tial street in Parkway Village, Bolton was shot multiple times and later died from the wounds at the hospital.

After two days on the run, Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, the man accused of killing Bolton, surrendered to authorities in downtown Memphis Aug. 3.

Wilbourn, charged with irst-degree murder, is in jail on a $10 million bond.

Bolton, who would have turned 34 Aug. 6, was with the department ive years, joining the force in October 2010. He worked on the “D” Shift at Mt. Moriah station.

His colleagues from Mt. Moriah spoke at the service, comparing Bolton’s dedication and high energy to that of the “Tasmanian devil” and the “Energizer Bunny.”

Some two hours before his

service began, oicers from far away as New York illed the parking lot at the church.

Dressed in their starched uniforms, wearing white gloves and with black tape or cloth over their badges, they came to say goodbye to one of their own.

“This hits home for us,” said Oicer Raul Dallas with the North Little Rock Police Department. “Oicer Bolton was someone’s child, someone’s brother. He was our brother.

We are here to support the Memphis Police Department and the oicer’s family to let them know we stand behind them.”

Oicer Bolton is survived by his mother and three siblings as well as thousands of brothers and sisters in blue, said Rev. Don Riley, a friend of the

During his remarks Thursday at the funeral of fallen oicer Sean Bolton, police Director Toney armstrong made reference to how law enforcement oicers are criticized because of recent treatment and deaths of african-americans nationwide at the hands of police. armstrong reminded the thousands at the service that not only do black lives matter but all lives. “i know that there is a mantra that says, ‘black lives matter,’ but let me tell you that i get that. i’m an africanamerican man and i truly, truly understand that. But we can’t say that black lives matter only when they are taken at the hands of law enforcement or only at the hands of nonafrican-american people.” armstrong continued with emotion in his voice: “Black lives matter, period. all the lives matter. we don’t get to choose. none of us. none of us has the right. God hasn’t granted us the authority to take a life. needlessly take a life. and if we don’t have that authority, we certainly don’t have the authority to place priority over one life versus another.”

Bolton family, who delivered the eulogy.

Riley wore pink socks in Bolton’s memory because the oicer often wore the socks to church — part of Bolton’s character as a practical joker. Riley told the oicers not to be angry about Bolton’s death.

“Jesus was not on vacation last Saturday when he called Sean home,” Riley said. “We are here to honor Sean’s name.

His name should be etched in the memory of every supporter.”

raving storms, power outages and traic jams, Memphians paid tribute to slain police oicer Sean Bolton Aug. 5 in a candlelit visitation and a circuitous ‘Sea of Blue’ procession winding some 30 miles around the city.

B

As a stormy afternoon gave way to a clear, cool evening, mourners — many of them fellow law enforcement oicers — iled into Hope Presbyterian Church in Cordova, which was darkened by a power outage, for the visitation.

Afterward, hundreds of motorcycles, squad cars and SUVs from as far away as Knoxville, Chicago and New York caravanned around the Interstate 40-240 loop, culminating their procession near the Parkway Village neighborhood where the 33-year-old Bolton was gunned down Saturday night after apparently interrupting a drug deal.

All along the route, hundreds of residents, many of them waving American lags, lined curbs and overpasses to take part in the tribute.

“He was the oicer for my area. It hit me harder than I expected,” said Dana Sloyan, 46, a Sea Isle Park resident who was among a group waiting for the procession on the Mt. Moriah overpass at I-240.

“Just showing support and showing that the city cares,” said Jonathan Newport, another resident in the group.

church still had not regained power from the late afternoon storm, relying on candles to illuminate the hallway leading to the visitation room.

Despite the outage, the visitation hours began at the scheduled time.

Throughout the visitation, Hope Presbyterian never turned its lights back on.

Mourners — some in uniform, some in dress clothes or business casual attire — continued to ile into the church despite the power outage. None of those attending spoke to the media, and Memphis police officials advised reporters not to approach mourners.

By early evening, the outage and the number of mourners trying to reach the church caused traic problems along the immediate east-west corridors into Cordova and Germantown. Both Walnut Grove and Wolf River Boulevard were gridlocked with commuters trying to reach home after work or mourners easing their way slowly to the church.

That included police oicers in marked cars who were among those unable to move through the traic congestion.

Shortly before 7 p.m., a long line of marked cars, all lashing their emergency blue lights began iling into the Hope parking lots.

Besides the Memphis police and Shelby County Sherif’s Ofice, oicers from Horn Lake, Southaven, Panola County, Miss., and other local agencies were among the cars seen in the parking lot.

As the mourners arrived at Hope, across the city in the neighborhood where Bolton was slain, star-shaped blue balloons dangled from mailboxes in honor of the man some knew as “Oicer Sean.”

Lolita Williams, 40, who lives one block away from the site on Summerlane where the shooting occurred, said Bolton was a kind oicer who spoke to her kids and even gave them rides home when her family lived about a mile to the west of their current residence. He often advised her children, now ages 13, 14 and 15, to stay out of trouble.

“He was always respectful whenever he came around,” Williams said. “He was just a nice guy.”

At the shooting site, a makeshift memorial of teddy bears and a sign reading “R.I.P.” grew soggy in a heavy Wednesday afternoon thunderstorm.

Across the street, Shantivia McKinney, 22, spoke of the increased traic on Summerlane ever since the Aug. 1 shooting.

Many of the vehicles were news crews, she said, but some were curiosity-seekers.

“They stop over, take pictures.

There have been a few leaving teddy bears,” McKinney said.

Many residents called the neighborhood quiet and generally safe.

“This is about as busy as it gets,” said Anwar Ghalib, 24, as he watched neighbors pull into their driveways after returning from work.

attorney: Driver of car at shooting scene innocent

Citizens gathered outside of the Memphis City Hall building to pray for peace and pray for the police in honor of fallen Memphis police oicer Sean Bolton.

KEEPING FAITH

By Jared Boyd jared.boyd@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2541

As Memphis City Council met on the afternoon of Aug. 4, around a hundred people gathered in the shade in front of City Hall, holding hands, lifting condolences for slain Memphis police oicer Sean Bolton and praying for peace in the city.

Mike Williams, president of the Memphis Police Association, who coordinated the event, said he was astonished by the turnout.

“To have people black, white, Hispanic and Asian to come together to pray for this city, that’s a big deal,” he said. “It’s not the see all, be all, do all, but it’s a beginning.”

Bolton was shot during a traic stop in Memphis Aug. 1. His suspected killer turned himself in to authorities Aug. 3.

Ellen Olford of Central Church said she took it upon herself to begin the litany of prayer. “God’s heart is for us to be joined in unity,” she said.

“I think this city does love each other, but it wants to love each other more.”

During the brief session of prayer,

prayer session honors slain oicer sean Bolton Olford, her colleague Carol Leake and Earnestine Hunt of the women’s prayer group Soul Sisters, led the group in a series of chants, such as, “Hear My Cry, Oh, Lord” and “All Lives Matter.”

Fred M. Tibbs Sr. stood in the crowd, grasping a neon yellow sign that featured the same catch phrase, with one addition: “All Lives Matter — Even M.P.D.” Tibbs, who said he was a former law enforcement oicer, cites the murder of his son in 2012 for spurring his interest in community outreach.

He preaches to young Memphians that education about interacting with police can prevent fatalities on the streets.

“I know how hard it is for an oicer to leave his family to come and protect our families,” he said, still clutching his sign tightly. In his talks with youth

in the city, he said he’s found a solution in getting youngsters to remember in times like these the value of life: “I tell people all the time, ‘If you think life’s not important, go to a funeral.’”

As the Memphis City Council’s agenda was still underway inside the building, Jaime Alldread said it was “nice to hear God’s alive in the citizens of Memphis.

“I’m tired of everybody shooting everybody,” she said. “This is America. Let’s come together and act like Americans.”

Pointing up high to the oices in City Hall, Williams, who is running for Memphis mayor, said, “I wish some of them would have come down,” and expressed his feeling that a moment this grave should forego political interests.

Olford ofered one last service of prayer. “We’ll be praying for you,” she said to Williams.

Williams instead ofered an alternative. “The Lord has blessed me,” he said. “Praying today is for the dope boys, it’s for the gang members, it’s for the prostitutes, it’s for the homeless, it’s for mothers that don’t know what they’re going to do.”

As accused police shooter Tremaine Wilbourn was arraigned by video in a Shelby County court Aug. 5, the attorney for the driver of the car that Wilbourn was in the night Oicer Sean Bolton was fatally shot asserted his client’s innocence.

Bolton, 33, was killed Aug. 1. Police say Wilbourn shot Bolton after the oicer approached an illegally parked 2002 MercedesBenz that Wilbourn was in.

“A brief struggle ensued between the passenger and the oicer at which time the passenger shot Oicer Bolton multiple times,” Memphis police Sgt. Karen Rudolph said in an e-mail.

The suspected shooter and driver led, and a small bag of marijuana and digital scales were found inside the car, Rudolph said. The driver later turned himself in and was released without charge.

Lawyer Leslie Ballin said the driver, whom he declined to name, has cooperated with authorities.

“He has given a statement consistent with his innocence,” Ballin said. “The fact (that) he is not under arrest I believe shows that the authorities believe his statement was true.”

The driver, who is a

childhood friend of the suspect, did not see the shooting, Ballin said, but he heard gunTremaine ire. He had Wilbourn run from the scene as soon as the oicer shined his spotlight on the car.

The driver met with oficers on Aug. 2. “He was crying like a baby over what had happened,” Ballin said. “He wants to testify to the truth.”

During the arraignment Aug. 5, Judge Loyce Lambert Ryan told Wilbourn he was charged with irstdegree murder, and that his bond is $10 million. She reset the case to Wednesday.

Wilbourn’s sister, Callie Watkins, 28, said after the court hearing by telephone that her brother is a “good person” and “he’s not a killer.”

“Yeah, he did time,” she said. “He robbed a bank.

He served time. He was in a halfway house. That doesn’t mean that he’s a bad person.”

At the time of the shooting, Wilbourn, 29, had been out on supervised release from federal court for a 121-month sentence for a 2005 bank robbery.

He turned himself in Aug. 3 to U.S. Marshals.

In the News GERMANTOWN

John Drinnon, 79, retired pharmacist, alderman dies

By Clay Bailey bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2393

PHOTOS BY BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Symmetry Turf Installations employees (from left) Cristian Flores, Fernando Martinez and Salvador Flores measure and mark lines on the new football field at Houston High School. Principle Toyota is the naming sponsor of the facility. The dealership was formerly known as Performance Toyota.

Ahead of the game Symmetry Turf Installations foreman Cristian Flores double checks lines on the field at Houston High School, which is part of the Germantown Municipal School District.

Former Germantown alderman John Drinnon, who served on the suburb’s legislative body for 20 years, died the morning of Aug. 5. He was 79.

Mr. Drinnon, a retired pharmacist who operated Oakhaven Drugs on Winchester for years, served as chairman of the Germantown Planning Commission before he was irst elected alderman in 1994.

Mr. Drinnon did not seek re-election in 2014.

Mary Anne Gibson serves in the Position 2 slot after defeating Mary Chick Hill a year ago for the seat Mr. Drinnon held.

Mr. Drinnon ran for Germantown alderman ive times and never faced opposition — a testament to the respect for his character and integrity, oicials said.

“Running unopposed in this day and age clearly shows that Mr. Drinnon was well respected for sure,” Gibson said.

Mayor Mike Palazzolo classiied Mr. Drinnon’s lack of opponents over the years as “amazing.”

“He was the kind who would study the issues, and was extremely on top of things when it came to

land planning,” Palazzolo said.

“That’s where he served us best.”

Mr. DrinJohn non started Drinnon with a strong political base at Germantown Baptist Church, where he was a longtime leader, and maintained that strength for the next two decades.

Mr. Drinnon was known for his no-nonsense, sometimes folksy reaction when he disagreed on a matter or simply got fed up with the debate on an issue.

Palazzolo noted that Mr. Drinnon, along with longtime Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy, was the voice of experience on the board for years.

“When they spoke, people listened,” Palazzolo said.

Mr. Drinnon routinely voted against beer at city events.

On other occasions when beer licenses were issued to businesses, he would preface his vote for the permits with a statement that he was only voting for approval at the direction of the city’s legal advisers.

Schools ACHIEVEMENT Brandon Patton (right) was recently named St. Benedict’s new baseball coach.

Congratulating Patton is assistant coach Brent Patton.

ECS in top 50 Christian high schools

By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly

ST. BENEDICT AT AUBURNDALE

Patton named new head baseball coach

By Sharon Masterson Special to The Weekly

St. Benedict at Auburndale High School principal Sondra Morris and athletic director Caleb Marcum announced head baseball coach Steve Heinz stepped down to take an assistant job at Collierville High School. The SBA administration quickly named Heinz’s longtime assistant, Brandon Patton, as head coach.

Patton is entering his sixth season as a baseball coach for SBA. During this time he has worked primarily with hitters, as well as outielders, pitchers and catchers, helping to propel the Eagles to postseason action including a state runner-up inish.

Before SBA, Patton was an assistant coach at Crichton College from 20062009. His duties included recruiting coordinator, hitting coach, working with infielders, strength and conditioning.

In his irst year at Crichton, he helped lead the school to its irst ever NAIA Regional appearance and also saw its ofense inish in the top 20 nationally in numerous ofensive categories, with the most notable accolades being top 20 in

doubles and home runs, top 10 inishes in batting average (.363) and hits. While at Crichton, Patton also coached two players who ultimately signed professional contracts, three First Team All-Conference and ive Second Team All-Conference selections.

From 2010-2012, Patton also coached in the Mississippi Prospects Organization (Team Mississippi).

During that time he helped guide numerous players to NCAA, NAIA and junior college programs across the country as well as professional contracts.

Upon accepting the position, Patton said, “I’m excited for this new role within the program and am ready to get to work.”

Marcum added, “We look for a seamless transition as Brandon has the respect of players and parents. With him at the helm, SBA baseball has a great future.”

Patton is also a wellness/ PE teacher at the school. He is married to Jourdan Patton and they are expecting their irst child.

They make their home in Collierville.

Sharon Masterson is the director of communications and sports information at St. Benedict.

T heBestSchools.org is a national-ranking site for colleges, universities, degree programs and secondary education schools.

Annually, the website has releases a ranking of “Top 50 Christian High Schools in America” and for the second year in a row, Evangelical Christian School has made the list.

“I’ve been so excited to ind ECS listed as a Top 50 Christian High School these past two years,” said Germantown resident Patty Littrell, who is the

admissions director at the JK-12 school that spans three campuses. “We are never contacted by TheBestSchools.org while they are compiling their rankings, so we are always pleasantly surprised to be a part of this prestigious list.”

ECS is the only school in Memphis to make the list over the past two years, and shares the title with only two other schools in Tennessee.

The organization uses a variety of criteria to develop their rankings. According to TheBestSchools. org website, an evaluated

Christian school must be coeducational. Each selected school is evaluated on the basis of “Academic excellence, extracurricular richness, geographic and demographic diversity, and Christian faith taken seriously.” Special attention was given to schools that appear to provide a rounded education that gives due respect to academics strength but “refuses to idolize it, instead always holding faith at the center.”

The evaluators at TheBestSchools.org found that ECS places high value on service, co-curricular ac-

tivities and mentorship of students. “All high school students are required to join some type of school activity so that students will be challenged to do their best in all activities, and learn self-discipline and the value of personal commitment.” Additionally, the evaluators found that a strong AP pass rate (88 percent, 29 percent over the national average) and strong recognition by the National Merit Scholar Program solidiied ECS’s place on the Top 50 list.

Mylissa Horrocks is the communications writer for ECS.

Churches collect school supplies for needy

By Kit Decker Special to The Weekly

Parishioners from St. George’s Episcopal Church in Germantown recently joined with parishioners from St. Philips Episcopal Church in Davies Plantation and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and Holy Apostles Episcopal Church in Collierville to provide backpacks illed with school supplies for 328 children from Emmanuel Center’s intercity programs for children.

Volunteers from the four churches met at Emmanuel Center on July 24 to sort out the supplies by grade level, kindergarten through high school, and returned July 25 to help the children and parents “shop” for their supplies for the new school year.

Each child left with a new backpack illed with the

Volunteers from four area churches helped collect and sort out supplies for Operation Backpack set up at Emmanuel Center.

Backpacks were filled with supplies kids would need this year.

supplies they would need for their irst day of school.

“For over 25 years, Emmanuel Center has provided educational and spiritual support to children and youth in one of Memphis’ poorest neighborhoods,” said the Rev. Dorothy Sanders Wells, priest-incharge at St. George’s Epis-

copal Church and a long time supporter of Emmanuel Center. “In a neighborhood in which high school graduation rates hovered well below 50 percent, Emmanuel Center has boasted a 100 percent graduation rate among its high school students, proving the enormous success of a minis-

try which teaches children and youth to reach for the stars.”

This has been an annual project, coordinated

by St. Philip’s church for 23 years.

The volunteers, teens to senior citizens, return each year.

This year St. George’s parishioners exceeded their fundraising goal of providing for 82 backpacks and had suicient funds to also provide some back-to-school supplies for second graders at Oak Forest Elementary School where volunteers from the church participate in the TEAM READ program to mentor and tutor second graders to improve their reading skills.

Kit Decker is the publications writer for St. George’s Episcopal Church.

Respect and reverence for the King

By Fredric Koeppel Special to The Commercial Appeal

t’s easy to parody Elvis Presley and his life and career, just as it’s easy to caricature any megafamous and legendary igure. Outsize beings always attract outsize Meer, “Can’t Help Falling,” oil and often complicated Kurt on panel. responses, from King Arthur to the King of ‘IT’S GOOD TO Rock and Roll to Donald BE THE KING’ Trump, the Man Who Through Aug. 29 at L Ross Would Be King.

Gallery, 5040 Sanderlin, What’s so satisfying, Suite 104.

Call 901-767-2200, or visit then, about the annual lrossgallery.com.

Elvis exhibition at L Ross Gallery, this year titled “It’s Good to Be the King,” is that as wildly diverse as the 27 pieces are, their primary theme is respect, whether dealing with Presley’s clothes, his birthplace, his music or his general aura. That aspect seems itting, since the exhibition is displayed simultaneously with the annual “Elvis Week” that culminates in the candlelight vigil, one of the most solemn occasions in the city’s calendar. There will be an opening reception from 6 to 9 tonight; the show will be on view through Aug. 29.

The main gallery is dominated by several large pieces that include Megan Hurdle’s “Blue Suede Shoes,” which treats those iconic items as the sacred objects they deserve to be; Matthew Hasty’s “Red, Hot and Blue,” a realistic depiction of Dewey Phillips’ radio broadcasting studio, a sort of ground zero of local rock music; and Emil Orth’s shaped acrylic-on-wood “Blue Do,” ofering Elvis’ pompadour hair style as an

almost extraterrestrial wonder. If visitors to the gallery walk all the way to the back and make a sharp left turn, they’ll see another large painting, Richard Harper’s “Two Tourists,” an exuberant narrative that compresses much of the history and materiality of Memphis and Downtown and the music business onto one crowded plane.

But all the works in this exhibition are not epic in scale, and indeed many are even more gratifying for their intimate scope and message. See especially Jeni Stallings’ two little encaustic pieces, “Priscilla and Elvis Cake” and the really tiny “Tupelo II.” How tiny? Six-by-six inches, and never did a king’s humble birthplace loom so large. Take a look, also, at “Elvis — The Tupelo Years,” a tender and touching ink-and-watercolor tribute to the singer’s boyhood by Michael Caplanis, a wizard of drawing and

nuanced (and frequently humorous) captions.

Stallings and Caplanis are longtime members of the L Ross Gallery stable, but a new artist to me in this show is Pat McRee, whose deft touch in her playful and witty mixed-media-on-canvas works is refreshing and exhilarating. Filled with references to 1950s and ’60s pop culture and gently surreal, these four pieces brought a lift to my day.

And while an exhibition is not a contest, my top prize would go — as it would have done in last year’s edition of this exhibition — to Kurt Meer, whose 12-by-12-inch oil portrait of Elvis, all in tones of black, white and gray, captures what was thoughtful, hesitant and shadowed about the singer’s self-regard. Called “Can’t Help Falling,” it transforms biography into a quasi-religious experience.

LYFE, a new dining concept, launches in East Memphis

GAS TAX

Haslam on 15-city tour to hear transportation needs

By Wayne Risher gerald.risher@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2874

GU

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam came to Memphis Aug. 5 to talk about the impact of inadequate transportation funding, but not the readily identiiable solution, a gas tax increase.

In a roundtable at the Greater Memphis Chamber, Haslam said he was withholding judgment until his administration builds a case for change based on community needs. It was the irst stop in a 15-city tour of the state.

“Our current position is we’re going to go out through the state, have this conversation. At the end of that, we will come back and make a recommendation about what we think is right,” Haslam said dur-

ing a stop that drew business leaders and several members of the General Assembly.

“But I didn’t think the right thing to do was go out and say, as the state, ‘Here, we need more money,’” Haslam said. “We need to go talk about does everybody agree what the needs are, and do we all understand the scope of the problem.”

The state faces a backlog of $6 billion in highway, bridge and other transportation construction projects. Fuel tax rates have not gone up in 26 years: 21.4 cents a gallon on gasoline is 12th lowest in the nation; 18.4 cents on diesel fuel is sixth lowest.

While state and local roads have more traic than ever, fuel tax collections are stagnant because

more efficient vehicles burn less fuel.

Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer has been talking for a couple of years about transportation funding woes, but Haslam did not propose a gas tax increase during this year’s General Assembly session.

The governor wouldn’t be drawn into a hypothetical discussion of how big an increase would be needed.

“I don’t know that number,” Haslam told Rep. Larry Miller, R-Memphis, adding, “I’m not trying to duck your question.”

Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville, endorsed Haslam’s approach, saying the governor “isn’t talking about the ‘t’ word, he’s talking about the ‘p’ word, the projects.”

LYFE Kitchen opened Thursday in East Memphis, the 17th — and the best — in the chain that started in 2011 in Palo Alto, Ca. “This is our flagship restaurant,” said chief marketing officer Steph Hoppe. “We’re doing things here we haven’t done at the others. We even have a full bar.”

Last year Memphisbased Carlisle Corp. purchased the majority stake in LYFE Kitchen and moved the headquarters to oices Downtown. The second local restaurant, in the historic Chisca Hotel Downtown, will open at the end of the year or in early 2016.

The concept chain — this is its seventh state — serves all-natural food, healthfully prepared and with calories listed on the menu, that tastes good.

“It’s all about taste,” Hoppe said. “Sometimes that means organic, and sometimes it doesn’t. But everything is natural and it’s cooked here.”

Art Smith, formerly Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef — he still works with her in addition to running some of his own restaurants, his work with LYFE, television appearances on cooking shows and starting a culinary school in Florida — was scheduled to be on hand for the opening.

“I’ve been in all of the restaurants and I like this one the best,” he said. “It’s a place you just want to

BRANDON DILL/SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

LYFE Kitchen opened its first Memphis restaurant Thursday on Poplar. Carlisle Corp. bought majority stake in the company last year and moved its headquarters from California to Memphis. A second local restaurant will open around the end of the year in the historic Chisca Hotel Downtown.

stay when you come in.”

The former Sharky’s at 6201 Poplar has been transformed to an open, light-filled space that seats 230 inside and out.

It’s called “fast-ine” dining, as the preparation is more intensive and the atmosphere more upscale than typical fast-casual restaurants. Yet diners still enter to an area where they place orders.

Just past that is a live herb wall with a spacious bar behind it and a dining room to the right. A large patio is off the dining room, and the bar ofers plenty of soft seating as well as a number of stools at the bar.

Wine is available on tap as are local beers and three signature cocktails, in addition to the full bar. All juices are freshly squeezed, and drinks are sweetened with agave.

“We have no white lour, no reined white sugar and no soft drinks,” Smith said.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and brunch on weekends, and has a grab-andgo counter. Prices range from $3 to $6.50 for breakfast, and lunch and dinner menus are the same: Flatbreads (which are glutenfree and so speciied on the menu) are $6-$8; salads, $6-$7.50 (protein add-ons $1.50-$6); sandwiches and burgers, $7-$9. The priciest item is a roasted salmon with tomato and fennel, which is $14.

Every item on the menu is under 600 calories and the menu changes seasonally. There’s also a children’s menu.

LYFE opened Thursday morning and a “sprout cutting” was held for the oficial opening.

Regular hours are 7 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; weekend brunch is served 10 a.m.2 p.m.

Sports UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS FOOTBALL 2015: DAY ONE

READY TO RUMBLE After first practice, Tigers eager to workout in pads

By Tom Schad tom.schad@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2525

Another season oicially began for the University of Memphis football team shortly after 4 p.m. on Thursday, as players trickled out of the Billy J. Murphy Athletics Complex and assembled on a turf practice ield to stretch.

For months, the Tigers had been limited to strength and conditioning work. By the time this week rolled around, they were itching to put on their helmets, to run through even the most rudimentary drills, because it meant they were one step closer to the season opener.

“It felt good to get back out here and put the helmet on a little bit,” redshirt senior tight end Alan Cross said. “It kind of sucks that we don’t have pads on, can’t really hit anybody. But other than that, it went all right.”

There was a visible intensity to the irst practice of the season, as there should be, and excitement among the group. Roughly 50 season-ticket holders, who were welcomed to the irst practice as members of the new 901 Club, watched from the sidelines.

Coach Justin Fuente said he was pleased with his team’s approach on Day One while emphasizing just how far this group still has to go.

“To me, for us, it’ll be can we be consistent,” Fuente said. “What will Day Eight be like? What will Day 12 be? Can we

finish a long practice?

What do we look like in period 22, when I know everybody’s tired? Who’s gimped up at the end because they’re tired? Those are the things we’re looking for.”

Junior quarterback Paxton Lynch, who was named to the watch list for a fourth preseason award earlier Thursday (the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award), said he could not compare this irst day of practice to any other.

Entering his third season as the Tigers’ starter, he admitted that he’s beginning to feel like a veteran.

He is more comfortable in his role than he’s ever been, but he is also more critical of both himself and his teammates.

“I just feel like we busted a lot of plays and we put the ball on the ground a couple times,” Lynch said of Thursday’s practice.

“As the ofense, we can’t do that. Especially having a new defense, we can’t

that can be accomplished in the irst ive days of preseason practice, a period that is strictly regulated by

the NCAA. Teams are allotted one two-hour practice per day and a one-hour walk-through. On the irst two days, players can wear only helmets. On the next two, they can add shoulder pads. Full pads are permitted on the ifth day, and every day thereafter.

The regulations, which are designed to allow players to acclimate themselves to the heat, narrow the scope of what Fuente and his staf can accomplish, and what they are able to observe. In these early stages of practice, Fuente said he is focused primarily on installing plays and schemes. He also aims to give newcomers, freshmen in particu-

lar, an early opportunity to prove themselves.

“We’re trying to evaluate those guys,” Fuente said. “There’s some guys — a couple guys, not a lot — that we know what (they) can do. And then competing for spots. So trying to measure guys against each other, trying to evaluate the young guys and see which guys can help us, and which guys will need to help us early on.”

Two-a-days will begin this week. The opener against Missouri State is set for Sept. 5.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Fuente said. “I’m glad we’re not playing any time soon.”
